Heat blankets U.S. as summer sizzles NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From Minnesota to Massachusetts temperatures surged to potentially dangerous levels Wednesday as the largest heat wave of the summer stretched out and stagnated, with relief in many parts of the country still days away.

Most states in the U.S. were expected to have some areas where the temperature would hit 90 degrees or more, according to the National Weather Service. Humid air just made it all feel worse, with heat indexes in some places over 100. Parts of 19 states were under weather advisories.

In New York City, where it was 95 degrees, sidewalk food vendor Ahmad Qayumi said that by 11 a.m., the cramped space inside his steel-walled cart got so hot, he had to turn off his grill and coffee machine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just too hot. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t See HEAT | 2

Obama praises approval of consumer office director Jim Kuhnhenn The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama on Wednesday hailed Richard Cordrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-awaited confirmation as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, saying his installation gives consumers a stronger footing â&#x20AC;&#x153;for years to comeâ&#x20AC;? in dealings with banks and credit card companies.

Obama, the beneficiary of a Senate agreement Tuesday that cleared the way for a number of his nominations, said Cordrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confirmation eliminates any lingering doubts about the authority of the consumer agency, whose creation was one of the key features of a 2010 financial regulation law and has long been a point of contention with Republicans.

Cordrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confirmation and his swearing in by Vice President Joe Biden Wednesday morning culminate a drawn out fight between Obama on the one hand and the financial industry and GOP

Among those in attendance was Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat who conceived the idea of a consumer agency while she was a

A man from Sidney whom Bellefontaine Police have charged in connection with a store robbery there is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a person of interestâ&#x20AC;? in the robbery last week of the Dairy Mart in Sidney.

Bellefontaine Police said they have charged Dwayne Johnson, 45, and Michele Davis, 33, also of Sidney, with aggravated robbery in connection with an incident Friday at 1:10 a.m. when the Village Pantry was robbed at gunpoint.Through leads from Lewisburg and Sidney Police Johnson departments, and an eyewitness account, charges were filed against Johnson and Davis, Bellefontaine Police said. A man reportedly robbed a gas station in Lewistown several days before the other robberies.

Sidney Police Chief Will Balling said Wednesday that Johnson is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a person of interestâ&#x20AC;? in the Dairy Mart robbery, but no charges had been filed. He would not comment on whether Davis also is a suspect in the local robbery.

The Lehman Catholic High School Alumni Association has announced the names of four 2013 inductees into the Lehman Hall of Fame.

Leesa A. Baker, Betty Hemmert, Clifford Hoying, and Robert J. Hoying (Pete) Meyer will be honored at induction ceremonies Aug. 3.

Tickets are available at the Lehman Catholic Development Office. The deadline for ordering tickets is July 29. The ceremonies will begin with Mass at 5:15 p.m. in the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Chapel on campus. Cocktails will

be served at 6 p.m. with dinner to follow at 6:30 p.m. in the Harriett J. Frantz Gymnasium.

Inductee Clifford Hoying was the longtime president of First National Exchange Bank (now US Bank) in Sidney. He passed away on June 9.

The father of four Lehman graduates, Hoying was treasurer of the Lehman High School Foundation from the time it was chartered in 1973 through 1998. During his tenure in office, the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets grew to nearly $3 million.

Through his work at the bank, Hoying was a wellknown face in the community and a natural fit for taking the helm in fundraising efforts.

Over the years, he worked with the bank and many large donors to ensure that Lehman would continue to exist to provide Catholic education to the young people of the area.

In his letter of recommendation, retired Piqua attorney Paul Gutmann said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was my privilege to serve on the Foundation Board as secretary simultaneously with Cliff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long service. I can certainly attest to his devotion to the school and its mission â&#x20AC;Ś There is no way to put a value

on the service he gave to the school other than to simply say that it was invaluable.â&#x20AC;?

Lehman President Mike Barhorst wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cliff was our de facto development director, long before we knew we needed a development director â&#x20AC;Ś Cliff had an office on the first floor of the bank, right inside the front door. On my first visit, I was surprised to ask a question and see him turn around, pull open a file drawer, take out a file and give me an answer to my question.

Defendants plead not guilty ZBA denies request The Sidney Zoning Board of Appeals Monday denied a variance concerning a swimming pool.

Denied was a variance sought by Jason and Gwen Stiver to allow a power safety cover on an in-ground pool in place of a barrier surrounding the pool at 2360 Beechwood Trail.

Barbara Dulworth, community services director, said the board denied the variance based on the findings of fact in the city staff recommendation. The staff said the variance would eliminate the minimal protection required for a permanent pools in the city’s ordinances.

Two defendants pleaded not guilty when they were arraigned recently in Shelby County Common Pleas Court before Judge James Stevenson.

Thomas L. Goings, 41, of St. Paris, pleaded not guilty to felonious assault, a second-degree felony. He is accused of punching Bruce Ostendorf on the left side of his face, causing a skull fracture and bleeding on the brain. The incident occurred Feb. 10.

Debra K. King, 51, 426 Wilson Ave., recently entered a plea of not guilty in Shelby County Common Pleas Court to two counts of trafficking in drugs, third-degree felonies, and one count of selling dangerous drugs, a fourth-degree felony. Stevenson set her bond at $5,000.

According to her indictment,

she twice sold morphine in the vicinity of a child in September and sold Tramadol to a confidential informant in November.

“We’re drinking a lot of water, down under by the tracks, in and out of the sun all day — very hot,” said carpenter Elizabeth Fontanez, of the Bronx, who labored with 20 pounds of tools and safety equipment strapped to her waist. Since the heat wave began, she said she has been changing shirts several times during her shifts.

5 things to know about the heat wave Keith Collins Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The first big heat wave of the summer is here, bearing down on all parts of the U.S., following temperatures that blistered the West Coast in June. Typically heat waves occur twice every summer. Meteorology director Jeff Masters of Weather Underground says expect the current bout of oppressive heat to last a bit longer than the usual three days.

Look for relief by Saturday.

1.

HEAT WAVE HIGHLIGHTS Temperatures in the Northeast are 5 to 10 degrees above normal, with

New York City experiencing the highest above-normal temperatures of any place in the country. The hottest summer in U.S. history — an average 73.83 degrees for the season — occurred during the Dust Bowl in 1936.

The 2011 and 2012 summers tied for second hottest but were only one-tenth of a degree cooler than the record.

2. ODD BEHAVIOR While the Northeast is burning up, Texas and Oklahoma recorded their all-time lowest temperatures for July 15. And in parts of Alaska, the readings were warmer Monday than parts of Texas. Alaska’s eastern interior was in the low 80s, while Abeline, Texas, recorded a cool 68 degrees.

breathe,” he said, turning away a customer who asked for a hamburger. “Just cold drinks,” he said.

Amid the heat, officials in Washington D.C.’s Maryland suburbs worked to keep a failing water main from cutting off hundreds of thousands of people, just when they needed it most.

People in Prince George’s County were asked not to run their faucets, water their lawns or flush toilets

Curly hair tends to frizz and flat hair tends to get, well, flatter. Alyssa Johnson of Pulse Beauty Academy near Philadelphia says the solution is to use special hair products to “seal” hair against the dense, moist air.

4. BASEBALL’S HOT AIR STATS It is not a myth but a matter of physics that baseballs fly farther in hot, humid air. Physics professor Alan Nathan of the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, explains. “The higher the temperature, the less air resistance, so the ball flies farther.” Each increase in temperature by 10 degrees can increase the flight of a ball by 2 1/2 to 3 feet. A ball hit during the heat wave could fly 15 feet farther than a ball hit in 40-degree weather in, say, April in Chicago.

5. HOT PHONES NOT SO SMART Most smartphones are designed to withstand extreme temperatures — many of them shut themselves down when they sense too much heat. But the batteries that power phones are still fairly vulnerable.

Engineering professor Yury Gogotsi at Drexel University says high temperatures can cause batteries to die faster than normal and can lower a battery’s life expectancy.

ARIEL CASTRO (left) stands before a judge with defense attorney Craig Weintraub during Castro’s arraignment on an expanded 977-count indictment Wednesday in Cleveland.

Castro is charged with kidnapping and raping three women over a decade in his Cleveland home. Castro pleaded not guilty to 512 counts of kidnapping and 446 counts of rape.

Ohio kidnapping, rape suspect pleads not guilty Thomas Sheeran The Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland man accused of holding three women captive in his home for more than a decade pleaded not guilty Wednesday on an expanded indictment charging him with 512 counts of kidnapping and 446 counts of rape, among other crimes.

The charges returned Friday by a grand jury against Ariel Castro expanded on a 329-count indictment filed earlier that covered only part of the time frame of the alleged crimes. He previously pleaded not guilty to that indictment.

Castro, 53, has been jailed since his arrest on May 6 shortly after the women escaped to freedom. As in past court appearances, he kept his head down Wednesday, typically responding to a judge’s questions with oneword answers.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Pamela Barker repeatedly told Castro to raise his head and keep his eyes open during the brief court appearance.

“Sir, please keep your eyes open so I make sure that you are listening to me and understanding what I’m saying, OK,” the judge asked.

“I’m trying,” said Castro, who in past court appearances has kept his head down and his chin tucked on his chest.

The judge continued his bond at $8 million.

Besides kidnapping and rape, the new 977-count indictment also charges him with seven counts of gross sexual imposition, six counts of felonious assault, three counts of child endangerment and one count of

possessing criminal tools.

He previous was charged with two counts of aggravated murder related to one act, charges alleging that he purposely caused the unlawful termination of the pregnancy of one of the women.

The women appeared in a YouTube video last week to thank people who donated to a fund created to benefit them. They otherwise have sought to stay out of sight and have appealed for privacy.

Castro is scheduled for trial on Aug. 5, a date that could be delayed if the defense requests more preparation time. His legal team has hinted Castro would plead guilty if the death penalty was off the table.

Defense attorney Craig Weintraub said after the arraignment that he didn’t expect a trial postponement.

“We have a trial date of Aug. 5, so either we’re going to have a plea or we’re going to trial Aug. 5,” he said.

The prosecution has said it would be ready for that date.

Castro is accused of repeatedly restraining the women, sometimes chaining them to a pole in a basement, to a bedroom heater or inside a van.

The charges say one of the women tried to escape and he assaulted her with a vacuum cord around her neck.

Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus and Michelle Knight disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. Each said they had accepted a ride from Castro, who remained friends with Dejesus’ family and even attended vigils over the years marking her disappearance.

WAY N E S F I E L D — Staff Sgt. Sonny C. Zimmerman, 25, of Waynesfield, died Monday in Mushaka, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when his vehicle was attacked by a rocket propelled grenade, the Defense Department announced Wednesday.

The region learned of Zimmerman’s death Tuesday. Zimmerman had been on mounted patrol in Paktiya Province, in eastern Afghanistan.

Zimmerman wa s assigned to Company A, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) as an infantry squad leader and supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. He joined the Army in June 2005 and had been stationed at Fort Campbell,

Ky. Zimmerman is survived by his wife, Morgan C. Zimmerman, of Lima; his stepdaughter, Riley A. McVicker, of Lima; and his parents, Chris L. Zimmerman of Waynesfield, and Michelle Fischbach of Fort Jennings. Fort Campbell’s website for Fallen Screaming Eagles lists Zimmerman’s awards. They include the Purple Heart, three Army commendation medals, two Army achievement medals, two Army good conduct medals, national defense service medal, three Afghanistan campaign medals, global war on terrorism service medal, noncommissioned officer professional development ribbon, Army service ribbon, three overseas ribbons, NATO medal, combat infantry badge and air assault Badge. Zimmerman graduated from Waynesfield-

Staff Sgt. Sonny C. Zimmerman

Goshen High School in 2005, where he played baseball and maintained a 3.2 GPA. Zimmerman always wanted to be in the military, he said in the 2005 story profiling him before he left for basic training. His grandfather

was in the Air Force, and an uncle served in the Army. His sister, Baily Zimmerman, served in the Air Force. “I want to serve my country,” Zimmerman said in that June 2005 profile. “It’s also a steady job that allows me to help people.” Flags were at half-staff Tuesday at several places in Waynesfield, including the library, post office and Armentrout Funeral Home. He is the fourth military casualty in Afghanistan from the region and the first since Army Spc. Nathan Carse died in 2011. The 4th Brigade has deployed several times to Iraq and Afghanistan. In early 2008, the 4th Brigade deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom as part of Task Force Currahee, according to the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division’s Facebook page.

Man who searched years for brother’s killer dies Mitch Weiss Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Al Gentry simply ran out of time.

For nearly 25 years he searched for his brother’s killer and followed the trail to a Georgia widow with a dubious past.

But the stress from chasing leads and pressuring police contributed to heart disease and other serious health ailments, his wife Diane Gentry said Wednesday.

The Rockwell, N.C., man died Monday in a hospice. Al Gentry was 68.

“He always bounced back from everything. And in my mind, I thought he’d bounce back from this.

But this time was different,” Diane Gentry told The Associated Press.

The couple was married for 34 years.

Gentry, who grew up in rural North Carolina, held various jobs over the years, working in factories, driving a truck and selling items at flea markets. But it was his quest to solve his brother’s slaying that defined and consumed his life.

After years of searching, Gentry thought he’d found the person responsible: Betty Neumar, a beautician who had left a decades-long trail of five dead husbands in five states.

Among them was Gentry’s brother Harold, who was shot to death in 1986.

Neumar was eventually charged in 2008 with three counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder in Harold Gentry’s death.

But weeks before her 2011 trial, Neumar, 79, died of cancer.

Even after her death, Gentry continued to press law enforcement

authorities for answers. He told the AP late last year he hoped someone would come forward with new information.

But Stanly County Sheriff Rick Burris says the mysteries in Neumar’s past may never be solved. He said Wednesday the case is no longer active, even though it’s still open.

“I think we know who the shooter was and I’m not going to go there …

But when you don’t have any more leads and you’ve exhausted every avenue, what do you do?” he said.

Gentry long believed that Neumar — a diminutive, white-haired Georgia grandmother who operated beauty shops, attended church and raised money for charity — was responsible. In January 2008 he persuaded Burris, then the newly elected sheriff, to reopen the case.

When investigators did, they discovered Neumar’s trail of dead husbands.

It turned out Neumar had been married five times since the 1950s and each of her husbands had died.

Investigators in three states reopened investigations into several of those deaths but have since closed them.

From the beginning, law enforcement authorities told The AP they had struggled to piece together her life because her story kept changing. But interviews, documents and court records provided an outline of her marriages North Carolina, Ohio, Florida and Georgia, the states where she was married.

Her first husband was Clarence Malone. They married in Ironton, Ohio, in 1950 and had a son, Gary, in 1952. The marriage broke up, but it isn’t clear when.

Malone was killed with a gunshot in the back of the head outside his

auto shop in a small town southwest of Cleveland in November 1970. His death was ruled a homicide.

Gary was adopted by Neumar’s second husband, James Flynn, although it’s unclear when she met or married him. She told investigators that he “died on a pier” somewhere in New York in the mid-1950s. She and Flynn had a daughter, Peggy.

In the mid-1960s, Neumar, then a beautician in Jacksonville, Fla., married husband No. 3: Richard Sills, who was in the Navy. In April, 1967, police found his body in the bedroom of the couple’s home in Big Coppitt Key. Neumar told police they were alone and arguing when he pulled out a gun and shot himself. Police ruled his death suicide.

But after Neumar was charged in North Carolina, Florida authorities took another look.

They uncovered Navy medical examiner documents revealing Sills may have been shot not just once, as Neumar told police, but twice.

One bullet from the .22-caliber pistol pierced his heart, while a second may have sliced his liver. No autopsy was performed.

Florida investigators planned in 2009 to exhume Sills’ body for an autopsy, but scrapped the plan after determining a statute of limitations applied to the case.

In January 1968 Neumar married Harold Gentry, who was in the Army.

In the late 1970s, after he retired, the couple moved to Norwood, N.C., about an hour east of Charlotte.

Relatives said the couple fought constantly and, just before his slaying, she had asked Harold to move out. After his death, Neumar collected about $20,000 in insurance money.

Artists help revive Columbus neighborhood Charlie Boss The Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — The warehouses sat abandoned along East Franklinton for years, relics of a once-booming industrial neighborhood.

The buildings, which had produced water coolers for the nation and uranium for the Manhattan Project, now attract the city’s creative class and have become the driving force behind the area’s rebirth.

About 100 artists have claimed studio space in the 105,000-square-foot facility at 400 W. Rich St., and more than two dozen are on the waiting list.

“They basically cannot build studios fast enough,” said Matt Egner, vice chairman of the Franklinton Area Commission. “It’s just been amazing how much interest there has been.”

But the property is more than an artists’ colony, neighborhood leaders say.

It also has become a hub for the community, with a Saturday farmers market and the Dinin’ Hall, where

ANDREW LUNDBERG works on piece in his studio at 400 Rich Street June 25 in Columbus. The building houses a variety of artists, a farm market and food truck dining hall in the Franklinton neighborhood.

a rotating group of food trucks gather during the week. People from across the city have flocked to events held there, including a bike race in Franklinton and the Urban Scrawl, where artists gather to create murals on wooden boards.

Organizers have started to take wedding reservations for a 3,000-squarefoot event space scheduled to open late this month. A

bar-restaurant is slated to make its debut around the same time.

“What we’re seeing, the development is beyond our expectations,” said Jim Sweeney, executive director of the Franklinton Development Association, which is charged with boosting quality housing and facilitating economic development. “It’s what we’ve been hoping for.”

He credits the effort

behind the 400 W. Rich St. project for the surge of interest in the area, from housing redevelopment to new businesses.

“There’s a lot of interest in moving out here, and we haven’t built one house yet,” Sweeney said.

“My goal is to ensure that (the eastern section of Franklinton) becomes such a strong development focus eventually that energy carries across the

rest of the freeway and into Franklinton.”

Columbus officials issued a 20-year redevelopment plan that includes an artsand-innovation district in the southeastern part of the neighborhood.

City officials say they also anticipate as many as 4,400 new or rehabilitated homes.

Last month, the plan earned national honors from the Congress for the New Urbanism, a Chicagobased group that promotes mixed-use neighborhood development and sustainable communities.

“This neighborhood is seeing more progress in two years than most places in 10 years,” said developer Lance Robbins, who owns the 400 W. Rich St. property. “It’s truly a phoenix.”

Robbins hopes to begin construction soon on loft apartments across from 400 W. Rich St., as well as new studio space at a nearby vacant warehouse he also owns.

He is currently negotiating with Ohio State University to provide col-

laborative space for its STEAM Factory, a showcase of work by the faculty and staff that focuses on science, technology, engineering, art and math.

“When I bought property in Franklinton 12 years ago, I can’t tell you how many people said, ‘Why did you do this?’?” Robbins said.

“And I said, ‘There will be a day …’?”

Located across the Scioto River from Downtown, 400 W. Rich St. is in part of a neighborhood once known as the Bottoms. Vacant lots and old industrial buildings are scattered across the area.

The average home value in the neighborhood is around $40,000, Sweeney said.

Multiple facilities currently make up 400 W. Rich St., including one structure built before the 1900s, said Chris Sherman, Robbins’ property manager.

But the space featured an open floor plan with large contiguous spaces throughout the building that lent itself well to studio space, he said.

Nation/World TODAY IN HISTORY

By The Associated Press

For release Thursday, July 18 Today is Thursday, July 18, the 199th day of 2013. There are 166 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 18, 1863, during the Civil War, Union troops spearheaded by the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, made up of black soldiers, charged Confederateheld Fort Wagner on Morris Island, S.C. The Confederates were able to repel the Northerners, who suffered heavy losses; the 54th’s commander, Col. Robert Gould Shaw, was among those who were killed.

On this date: In A.D. 64, the Great Fire of Rome began.

In 1536, the English Parliament passed an act declaring the authority of the pope void in England.

In 1792, American naval hero John Paul Jones died in Paris at age 45.

In 1872, Britain enacted voting by secret ballot.

In 1913, comedian Red Skelton was born in Vincennes, Ind. In 1932, the United States and Canada signed a treaty to develop the St. Lawrence Seaway.

In 1940, the Democratic National Convention at Chicago Stadium nominated President Franklin D. Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term in office.

In 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed a Presidential Succession Act, which placed the speaker of the House and the Senate president pro tempore next in the line of succession after the vice president.

In 1969, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., left a party on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha’s Vineyard with Mary Jo Kopechne (kohPEHK’-nee), 28; some time later, Kennedy’s car went off a bridge into the water.

(Kennedy was able to escape, but Kopechne drowned.)

In 1976, at the Montreal Olympics, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci received the first-ever perfect score of 10 with her routine on uneven parallel bars. (Comaneci would go on to receive six more 10s at Montreal.)

In 1984, gunman James Huberty opened fire at a McDonald’s fast food restaurant in San Ysidro (ee-SEE’droh), Calif., killing 21 people before being shot dead by police. Walter F. Mondale won the Democratic presidential nomination in San Francisco.

In 1988, Texas Treasurer Ann Richards, delivering the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, skewered presumed Republican nominee George H.W. Bush as having been “born with a silver foot in his mouth.”

Ten years ago: Basketball star Kobe Bryant was charged with sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman at a Colorado spa; Bryant denied the charge, saying he was guilty only of adultery.

(Prosecutors later dropped the case.) The body of British scientist David Kelly, a weapons expert at the center of a storm over British intelligence on Iraq, was found a day after he’d committed suicide.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Caution: Your cellphone will self-destruct URBANA, Ill. (AP) — Imagine this: There’s no need to throw out your old cellphone, because it will self-destruct.

That’s the idea behind a project at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, where researchers are investigating how to build electronics that vanish in water.

John Rogers is a professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the university. Rogers says the goal of the “born to die” program is to design transient technology that can dissolve at the end of its useful life, thus saving space in landfills and reducing waste.

The research team isn’t there yet. But it has designed a chip built on a thin film of silk that dissolves when hit with water.

With cameras watching, your car isn’t your castle Anna Flaherty and Calvin Woodward The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — You can drive, but you can’t hide.

A rapidly growing network of police cameras is capturing, storing and sharing data on license plates, making it possible to stitch together people’s movements whether they are stuck in a commute, making tracks to the beach or up to no good.

For the first time, the number of license tag captures has reached the millions, according to a study published Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union based on information from hundreds of law enforcement agencies. Departments keep the records for weeks or years, sometimes indefinitely, saying they can be crucial in tracking suspicious cars, aiding drug busts, finding abducted children and more.

Attached to police cars, bridges or buildings — and sometimes merely as an app on a police officer’s smartphone — scanners capture images of passing or parked vehicles and pinpoint their locations, uploading that information into police databases..

Over time, it’s unlikely many vehicles in a covered area escape notice. And with some of the information going into regional databases encompassing multiple jurisdictions, it’s becoming easier to build a record of where someone has been and when, over a large area.

While the Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that a judge’s approval is needed to use GPS to track a car, networks of plate scanners allow police effectively to track a driver’s location, sometimes several times every day, with few legal restrictions. The ACLU says

OFFICER DENNIS Vafier, of the Alexandria Police Department, uses a laptop in his squad car to scan vehicle license plates during his patrols, Tuesday in Alexandria, Va. Local police departments across the country have amassed millions of digital records on the location and movements of vehicles with a license plate using automated scanners. Affixed to police cars, bridges or buildings, the scanners capture images of passing or parked vehicles and note their location, dumping that information into police databases. Departments keep the records for weeks or even years.

the scanners are assembling a “single, high-resolution image of our lives.”

“There’s just a fundamental question of whether we’re going to live in a society where these dragnet surveillance systems become routine,” said Catherine Crump, a staff attorney with the organization. The group is proposing that police departments immediately delete any records of cars not linked to any crime.

Although less thorough than GPS tracking, plate readers can produce some of the same information, the group says, revealing whether someone is frequenting a bar, joining a protest, getting medical or mental help, being unfaithful to a spouse and much more.

In Minneapolis, for example, eight mobile and two fixed cam-

eras captured data on 4.9 million license plates from January to August 2012, the Star Tribune reported. Among those whose movements were recorded: Mayor R.T. Rybak, whose cityowned cars were tracked at 41 locations in a year.

A Star Tribune reporter’s vehicle was tracked seven times in a year, placing him at a friend’s house three times late at night, other times going to and from work — forming a picture of the dates, times and coordinates of his daily routine. Until the city temporarily classified such data late last year, anyone could ask police for a list of when and where a car had been spotted.

The North Korean ship carrying weapons system parts buried under sacks of sugar was seized as it tried to cross the Panama Canal on its way from Cuba to its home country, which is under a United Nations arms embargo, Panamanian officials said Tuesday.

Experts: Cuba arms shipment explanation troubling Michael Weissenstein and Peter Orsi The Associated Press

HAVANA (AP) — North Korea on Wednesday repeated Cuba’s assertion that the antiquated weapons systems found on a cargo ship in Panama were headed to the Asian county for repair.

But while the explanation is potentially credible, it leaves troubling questions unresolved, international arms experts say.

Acting on intelligence it hasn’t publicly described, Panama seized the rusting, 34-year-old North Korean freighter Chong Chon Gang on July 11 as it headed toward the Caribbean entrance of the Panama Canal on its way to the Pacific and its final destination of North Korea.

Hidden under about 240,000 white sacks of raw brown Cuban sugar, Panamanian officials found shipping containers with parts of a radar system

for a surface-to-air missile defense system, an apparent violation of U.N. sanctions that bar North Korea from importing sophisticated weapons or missiles.

The North Korean Foreign Ministry commented on the seizure for the first time Wednesday, saying: “This cargo is nothing but aging weapons which (North Korea) are to send back to Cuba after overhauling them according to a legitimate contract.”

Bombing suspect on Rolling Stone cover BOSTON (AP) — A Rolling Stone cover story featuring a glamorous photo of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is generating controversy, with several retailers including CVS and Walgreens announcing Wednesday that they will not carry the issue.

The cover of the magazine’s Aug. 1 edition is a photo in which Tsarnaev looks more like one of the rock stars that usually grace it than a suspect in the April 15 bombings at the marathon finish line that killed three and wounded more than 260.

A preview on the magazine’s website says the

story by contributing editor Janet Reitman traces how “a bright kid with a charming future became a monster.”

Rolling Stone editors said in a statement that the story falls within the traditions of journalism and the magazine’s commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage.

“The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens,” the statement said.

cated surveillance systems. The federal government has been a willing partner, offering grants to help equip departments, in part as a tool against terrorism.

Law enforcement officials say the scanners are strikingly efficient. The state of Maryland told the ACLU that troopers could “maintain a normal patrol stance” while capturing up to 7,000 license plate images in a single eight-hour shift.

“At a time of fiscal and budget constraints, we need better assistance for law enforcement,” said Harvey Eisenberg, assistant U.S. attorney in Maryland.

Law enforcement officials say the technology automates a practice that’s been around for years. The ACLU found that only five states have laws governing license plate readers.

New Hampshire, for example, bans the technology except in narrow circumstances, while Maine and Arkansas limit how long plate information can be stored.

“There’s no expectation of privacy” for a vehicle driving on a public road or parked in a public place, said Lt. Bill Hedgpeth, a spokesman for the Mesquite Police Department in Texas. The department has records stretching back to 2008, although the city plans next month to begin deleting files older than two years.

In Yonkers, N.Y., just north of New York City’s Bronx, police said retaining the information indefinitely helps detectives solve future crimes. In a statement, the department said it uses license plate readers as a “reactive investigative tool” that is only accessed if detectives are looking for a particular vehicle in connection with a crime.

Pregnant former Olympian dies, baby saved Dave Collins The Associated Press

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A former Olympic and professional runner from Ethiopia who was due to give birth in three weeks collapsed at a restaurant and died, but doctors saved her baby, her friends said Wednesday.

Meskerem Legesse, 26, who lived in Westport, was with her 2-year-old son when she collapsed at a Chinese restaurant in Hamden on Monday, said her friend Fatima Sene. She was transported to a hospital, where she died and the baby was saved, Sene said.

The cause of death was unclear. Sene said Legesse had suffered heart problems in the past.

“It is very sad. She was a very good person,” Sene said. “She would do anything for anybody. And she loved that little boy she left behind.”

Legesse ran in the 1,500-meter competition at the Athens Olympics in 2004. She finished 12th in a first-round heat with a time of 4:18:03 and didn’t advance to the medal race. She moved on to a professional running career in the U.S., competing in events including the Boston Indoor Games, Fifth Avenue Mile in Manhattan and the Millrose Games in New York. She apparently hadn’t raced within the past few years.

Legesse’s children are now with their father, and arrangements are being made to take Legesse’s body to Ethiopia, Sene said. Legesse was planning to get married to the children’s father, she said.

Legesse’s death was first reported

by Hartford-area CBS affiliate WFSBTV, which obtained surveillance video from the restaurant showing Legesse entering with her son, sitting down in a chair and collapsing to the floor within seconds. Legesse had ordered takeout and was picking it up, said Sene’s sister, Fatima Cisse, another friend of Legesse.

Legesse knew the two sisters from a hair salon down the street from the Chinese restaurant, they said.

Hamden firefighters and paramedics with American Medical Response were called to the restaurant at about 2 p.m.

Monday and performed CPR on a pregnant woman who collapsed, according to fire and police officials who did not release the woman’s name.

Doctors at Yale-New Haven Hospital were able to save the baby because of the CPR efforts both in the restaurant and in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, Hamden Fire Chief David Berardesca said.

A spokeswoman for the state medical examiner’s office said the agency declined to perform an autopsy, citing Legesse’s past health problems. She declined to elaborate.

A Yale-New Haven Hospital spokesman on Wednesday said he had no information about Legesse being brought there Monday.

Piquad’s hint makes column Dear Heloise: Here is my favorite photography hint: Don’t be afraid to get close up (or use your zoom) when taking a photo of one person — when you don’t care about the surroundings. So many people just “aim and shoot,” ending up with a 6-by-4-inch picture, thus chopping the person in half and including all that extra space on each side.

My suggestion: Either move close up to get a chest/shoulder/head shot, or turn your camera a quarter turn in order for the photo to come out truly 4 by 6 inches. You will end up with your subject as the central focus of the picture and NOT have the wasted space and half a person.

What’s HAPPENING?

Registration is now open

I have used as much as I can by squeezing the tube, I cut it off just below the shoulder, which gives me a little cup with a surprising amount of toothpaste in it.

I then dip my brush in the cup and have a few more days’ use before I need a new tube. — Amanda S., Durham, N.C. A BELL ALERT Dear Heloise: A compassionate friend of mine adopted a beautiful, white, blue-eyed cat. It is obvious that it once had a home, but then was dumped, probably because it is deaf. A tiny bell attached to her collar alerts the guardian of her location in the household.

He was faithful to heal my “For the eyes of the Lord move broken heart and give me a peace. “He to and fro throughout the earth that healeth the broken in heart and bindeth he may strongly support those whose up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3) heart is completely His.” (2 Chronicles Later when I could focus better, he

let me know she was home with him.

I came to realize he’d answered my prayers. I had asked him to save her, deliver her and give her peace. I know God knew her future here, and I believe he knew she was finally truly repentant and ready to meet him. I believe he took her home, saved, delivered and with peace and joy unspeakable. I don’t know what I would have done or what I would have become if I hadn’t used the faith he’s given me to cry out to my heavenly Father. I rested in him.

We can rest in the Lord even under insurmountable circumstances. We can be certain he has the upper hand, and he knows what we are facing. He knows what we need; he wants a good end for us. (Jeremiah 29:11) He wants to bear our burdens and fight our battles because He loves us more than anyone can.

So we can rest in him and forsake all the worry. Cast our cares on him (Psalms 55:22) Cast your burdens on the Lord and he will sustain you: He will never allow the righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall or fail). I recently heard a man of God describe the rest of the Lord as green pastures, still waters, and restoration of the soul.

Green pastures speak of growth, beauty and newness. Still waters speak of quiet, undisturbed and peaceful.

Restoration of the soul speaks of bringing us back to our Creator as he intended for us to be and to see and experience His love and joy … EVEN IN OUR TROUBLES. You, too, can find rest in the Lord when you give up trying to find rest any other way. Go to Jesus!

Let him fight the battle while you rest knowing he is always victorious!

Operation Christmas Child

SDN Photo | Luke Gronneberg

Standing by a Christmas tree made of gift boxes Sunday are (l-r) Dalton France, 12; Conner France, 8; and Kylie France, 6, all of Sidney, and all the children of Daniel and Kristen France. The boxes are set up in the First Presbyterian Church in Sidney to help promote Operation Christmas Child a Samaritan’s Purse program to supply basic items for poor children. The church is accepting donations for the boxes.

The writer is an evangelist at Only Believe Ministries.

Wheels of Truth Motorcycle Ministry combines faith and courage Riding a motorcycle takes a certain amount of faith and courage both on and off the bike. For one group of Sidney bikers, the Wheels of Truth Motorcycle Ministry provides just that.

Sponsored by the First Church of the Nazarene in Sidney, the group meets bi-monthly to have rides and bike blessings, and to participate in community service.

Founded in 2008 by Steve DeWeese, outreach minister, and Mike Manger, pastor, the group consists of a changing number of members each time they meet.

Don Ike, 53, director of the organization’s activities, said no single ride is ever the same; riders from any walk of life are wel-

come to ride with them.

Ike said motorcycles of any kind are welcome and in the past have included scooters, citing a group of older gentlemen who join them on their rides frequently.

To wear the organization’s patch, however, a rider must first fulfill several criteria which include: “accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior”; “complete a three-phase training: a motorcycle safety video, a group riding video and Evangelism Training.”

The group holds rides twice a month and are typically 70 to 95 miles round trip.

Ike took over administration and direction of activities from DeWeese last year when DeWeese was involved in a motorcycle accident in June with

a box truck leaving him with broken limbs and a long recovery.

“The driver of the truck was very intent on reaching his destination and just must have not seen Steve,” said Ike. “He’s still recovering at home, but he can speak and hold conversation now.”

DeWeese’s recovery has allowed him to spend more time in ministries and other groups he is passionate about, but he has yet to get back on the bike after his accident.

Much as DeWeese’s recovery is dedicated to his passions and his personal health, the mission of the group is written: “We are a nonprofit organization, our mission is to use our common love for the sport of motorcycling, to spread the message of our risen Savior,

Third annual Ultimate Frisbee Tour coming For the third consecutive year, the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati are traveling the archdiocese looking for a little friendly competition on the Ultimate Frisbee field.

Last summer, they competed against nearly 120 teens and young adults in their three-stop tour.

They look to do the same again this year as they use Ultimate Frisbee, a cookout, and prayer to meet and talk to teens and young adults about life and discerning God’s will.

The first stop on this year’s tour will be Heritage Village in Versailles on Wednesday from 6 to 9 p.m. The second stop will be three days later, July 27, from 10 a. m. to 1 p.m., at Wright State University in Dayton, and the final stop will be on Aug. 3,

from 10 am to 1 p.m., at the home of the seminarians, Mount St. Mary’s Seminary of the West in Cincinnati. Each stop will start off with introductions and picking teams before kicking things off on the field of play. As the competition draws to a close, the group will come together for a cookout, camaraderie and prayer.

This tour is all about having fun with men and women of any age who want to come out and play some high-energy Frisbee.

Those who don’t feel up to the physical challenge are encouraged to come and watch, too. Anybody interested in coming is asked to register by contacting their local youth minister, or calling Wayne Topp at (513) 421-3131, ext. 2891, so that enough food can be provided for everyone.

Jesus Christ. We are dedicated to the principles of goodwill, community service, forgiveness, and understanding. We enjoy each other’s fellowship while constantly striving to improve our relation-

ships with Jesus and our fellow man.”

Wheels of Truth has several rides coming up later this summer: Sunday to Grand Lake St. Marys; Aug. 17, a Sidney City Schools prayer ride

in which the riders pass every school in the district and stop at the high school to pray for the needs of the school and the district as a whole; Sept. 1, State Route 48 Ride, are just a few of their upcoming events.

The group has two rides a month and are all held on Sunday after morning services at the First Church of the Nazarene.

Most C.PP.S. priests began their studies with four high school years at Brunnerdale Seminary in Canton; two years at St. Joseph’s College in Rensselear, Ind; and one year of meditation at the novitiate, near Burkettsville, which has since burned down. The final six years of formation were at the former St. Charles Seminary, now a senior living community for retired priests and lay people.

Brunnerdale S eminary was open from 1931 to 1981.

During its 50 years of operation, Brunnerdale hosted more than 2,500 young men who began study for the priesthood, though most decided to pursue other careers during the 13 years of formation.

About 20 years ago, several priests and former C.PP.S. members considered having occasion-

al gatherings to reminisce and renew old friendships. The first several attendees were primarily current and former priests, plus wives, but now include anyone who attended Brunnerdale and their spouses. Today, former priests, brother members, plus seminarians and spouses are known as Amici (Latin for friends). Amici gatherings are held every other year at St. Charles Center.In 2011, companions, or lay associates of the missionaries, also were invited.

This year’s Gathering will be at St. Charles from July 26-28.

The program on the morning of July 27 features three speakers discussing “Coming to Know Your Personal God.” Dr. Ichak Adizes is Jewish, a PhD, born in Macedonia, raised and schooled in Israel; Barbara Prose is a Unitarian minister, reared on the East Coast, with strong ties to France and Russia; and Brother Anthony Sison, C.PP.S., is a theologian, born and raised in the Philippines, with an affinity for the church outside the U.S.,

and is a professor at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.

The presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session.

July 27 afternoon highlights an all-Brunnerdale Reunion, giving everyone who attended Brunnerdale a chance to get reacquainted and reminisce. Many of those who went to Brunnerdale originated from parishes local to St. Charles and still live nearby.

The morning of July 28 features a unique program. Several C.PP.S.priests were composers of liturgical music. So, those attendees who were once in the Brunnerdale, St. Joe or St. Charles choirs will present a 30-minute concert of rarely performed songs by these composers before a special 11 a.m. Mass.

Anyone who went to Brunnerdale and their spouses may participate in the entire weekend or come for just the Brunnerdale reunion on July 27.

Picnic to support firefighters Kathy Leese KETTLERSVILLE — Kettlersville/Van Buren Township volunteer firefighters are hoping the public will help them reach their goal this weekend during the 44th Annual Firemen’s Picnic.

The picnic is scheduled for Saturday at the Kettlersville Fire Department, 8833 North St. It will run from 3 p.m. until midnight, and Kettlersville/Van Buren Township Fire Chief Chuck Axe is hoping the public will help the firefighters reach their goal of $12,000.

Not only will the firefighters be hosting the picnic to raise money for the department, but they want the public to see that their donations are making a difference.

“We want people to come and enjoy themselves … and see the new truck.”

Axe is referring to the new 2013 Grass Truck 663 that will fight grass fires that the department purchased for approximately $90,000 and recently brought to the village from Oklahoma, with funds raised in large part from the picnic and other fundraisers. It will be on display during the picnic.

“We want the public to know the Van Buren (Township) Trustees have been saving their money,” Axe said, noting the trustees have not placed a tax levy before the voters and have worked to avoid cost-

ing taxpayers more money.

That is why he feels the picnic is so important. “We don’t have any fire levy any more.”

The fire department has also been able to purchase another set of Jaws of Life, and recently purchased ice and rescue equipment also, thanks to the help of local residents. Firefighters are currently training for ice and rescue emergencies.

“We’re trying to raise enough money to buy another set of cutters,” Axe said.

The Kettlersville/Van

Buren firefighters are also helping Anna Rescue Squad members.

“Our department decided to help Anna Rescue out. We bought some rescue equipment to help Anna Rescue out.” He noted that the firefighters are getting training as Emergency Medical Technicians and Emergency Medical Responders to help support Anna.

Kettlersville firefighters have “teamed up with Anna Rescue” to respond to emergencies, noting that they have been doing that for about a year.

Council amends pool regulations ANNA — Several village residents were present at the recent Anna Village Council meeting regarding the possibility of having to fence their pools. Council also heard an update on a new business, Trackside Treats.

Several residents were at the council meeting after reading an article in the Sidney Daily News regarding the possibility of fencing properties that have pools. There were questions and discussion regarding the difference between wading and swimming pools, and temporary and storable pools and permanent pools.

If the ordinance in effect were not amended, everyone owning a pool would be required to put up a fence. Council approved suspending the readings and declared an emergency and approved an ordinance amending the zoning regulations to define swimming pools and the regulation between permanent structures and temporary structures. Council members Kurt Ehemann, Richard Steinke and Richard Eshleman voted in favor of the ordinance.

Jenni Shoffner, Gary Strasser and Kathleen Eshleman voted against the ordinance. Mayor Robert Anderson broke the tie by voting for the amendment.

The ordinance passed 4-3.

Council members heard from Chad Thobe, Jeff Abels and Bob Klopfenstein, who own the proposed business known as Trackside Treats. They gave a slide show that introduced themselves and their business.

It was noted that progress on the business has stopped due to the lot being unstable to build on. The findings were the results of two core drillings.

The best option to deal with the problem is from a company that recommended that they will provide the dirt and compact it, but to save money, they need a dump site that is closer than three miles. Council members and guests at the meeting suggested possible dump sites.

Anderson and council offered the business owners their support.

S helby County Commissioner Julie Ehemann told council members that the commissioners are working to change the vendor for the building permit process from the National Inspection Corp. to the Miami County Department of Development. The village does not need to do anything since they are partners with the county. The vendor should be changed by August.

Anderson told council members that he and Kevin Berner

and Paul Dunkman from IGA had given permission to Mike Messersmith to sell ministerial DVDs from a sidewalk stand on a Friday night. Council members asked if that is violating any ordinances and whether it is setting a precedent.

Anderson responded that he believes it should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Anderson said he has received some complaints about the appearance of some of the buildings on Main Street.

He will be talking with the Planning Commission about the problem. The mayor said there will be signs placed at the intersection of Pike Street and Ohio 119 that will prohibit right turns by semi trucks.

They will be placed 325 feet before the intersection. The signs that are currently in place will stay there.

Village Administrator Nancy Benroth reported that she and Cody Bensman were trained on meter readings for the village in case she has to do the readings this fall. There is discussion about possibly switching to radio readings. That could be implemented on a block-byblock basis. Richard Eshleman reported that the Public Works Committee met and he noted that village employee Bruce Schroer will be off work for surgery and will be off for six months. Richard Eshleman noted that council members are invited to attend the next public works meeting at the wastewater treatment plant on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

There will be no safety and refuse meeting in July.

Strasser reported that Columbus Zoo representatives are going to be at the Anna Community Park on Aug. 4 at 3:30 p.m. with some of their animals. The event is open to the public. The Village Pride Awards will be presented at 3 p.m. that day.

Benroth noted that the Planning Commission meeting has been canceled for July. The next meeting will be held Aug. 6 at 7 p.m.

Council also: 7ffhel[Z j^[ i[YedZ h[WZing of an ordinance establishing the position of an auxiliary police sergeant position in the Anna Police Department.

“Any time you call for a rescue, you’re going to get a fire truck also,” Axe said, not wanting people to be alarmed when they call for a rescue and a fire truck shows up alongside them, since rescue equipment is being stored in the fire truck.

The firefighters felt it was important to support Anna Rescue since they are “low staffed,” Axe said. “We took it upon ourselves to train to help them.”

Axe said the department is also involved in hazardous material training with

all of the county departments this fall. “In Shelby County, all the departments work so well together and that’s a good thing. Not all counties can say that.”

During Saturday’s picnic, Axe noted that the popular chicken dinners will be available again to the public and will include one half of a chicken, coleslaw, potato chips and a roll and will be available for $7. Drinks are also available for an additional cost. Axe noted that if anyone is unable to get to the picnic and lives in Van Buren Township, the firefighters will deliver their dinners to them. However, they need to call Axe and request the delivery by Friday. He can be reached at 538-0078.

There will be a number of other activities planned for the picnic, including a cake wheel that will begin at 3 p.m. and will continue until the cakes run out.

There will be 4-H booths, kids games and an ice cream booth, and the kids will be able to enjoy a jumping gym from 4 to 10 p.m.

There will be free pony rides for the children from 5 to 8 p.m. Axe noted that the pony rides being available will depend on how hot it is at the time.

The chicken dinners will be sold beginning at 4:30 p.m. and will be available until they are gone.

There will be a hamburger stand and drinks available throughout the picnic.

At 6 p.m., bingo and other games begin.

At 11 p.m., there will be raffle drawings with the winners eligible to win one of 100 prizes, which will include a number of cash prizes, including $100, $50 and $25 amounts. Those wanting to purchase raffle tickets can call Axe to get tickets.

From 5 to 8 p.m., local residents can enjoy the sounds of the band Inside Out. Axe said if anyone wants to donate to the fire department and cannot attend the picnic, they would welcome any donations of any size.

They can mail their check or money order, payble to Van Buren Township Fire Department, to the attention of Fire Chief Chuck Axe, P.O. Box 176, Kettlersville, OH 45336.

Those wanting to purchase raffle tickets or who have questions about the picnic, can contact Axe at 937-538-0078.

“Any donation is appreciated,” Axe said, noting “we’re hoping to raise $12,000….we really appreciate all of the support and hopefully it will continue…. there are a lot of things that the fire department is doing that will benefit the people.”

All Shelby County residents and others are being invited to attend the picnic and support the firefighters as they work to protect the public.

Like most things that are worthwhile, it’s difficult to accomplish but rewarding when goals are reached. Don’t get caught up in the “Let’s do it because it’s fun” craze. Exert a little self-discipline and control. The day will come when you’ll be happy you did.

TODAY’S SPORTS REPLAY 50 years ago July 18, 1963 Leon DeLoye of Fort Loramie and Sidney’s Butch Davis haven’t done too bad in recent tryouts, conducted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the stadium of their Ohio farm club, the Columbus Jets. As we learned, the two started out with a field of 20 or 30 prospects, which was reduced by the Pittsburgh coaches to ten and then to three, with the Shelby county candidates still around.

25 years ago July 18, 1988 The Sidney Zoo finished 13th in the State Women’s Fast-pitch Softball Tournament over the weekend in Findlay, after which coach Toby Tyler resigned his position. He turned over the reins of the team to Tim McCullough and Larry Lattimer for the remainder of the season, which includes two more tournaments. Sidney won two and lost two in the state tournament, beating Marietta 5-2 on Laura Watkins’ one-hitter and beating Akron 5-2. Jenni Prinz of Northmont finished the tournament with a .545 batting average.

10 years ago July 18, 2003 There’s an old baseball cliche that says the final out is the hardest to get. That was the case Friday night as St. Henry, with two outs and no one on, rallied with three runs in the bottom of the ninth to pull out a 9-8 win over Sidney in the District Two American Legion baseball tournament. Brandon Koester finished with three hits and two runs scored for Sidney and Dustin Sommer added two hits.

IN BRIEF

Page 12

You can only prepare on the course GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — The practice round schedule posted each day at Muirfield is not the only way to determine how players are getting ready for the British Open.

Johnson Wagner’s name was on the tee sheet at St. Andrews over the weekend.

Geoff Ogilvy could be found on the other side of the country, on links courses like Turnberry, Royal Troon and Western Gailes. Justin Rose was at North Berwick. So were Bubba Watson and Luke Donald, who got in plenty of golf along the Firth of Forth the week before the British Open.

It’s not unusual for players to take off from their regular tours a week before a major to prepare. What’s different about the British Open — isn’t everything? — is that preparations aren’t limited to the course they will be playing.

“You can prepare for the U.S. Open on the range,” Ogilvy said Wednesday. “But you can only prepare for The Open on the course. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be the course you’re playing. The seaside courses here, they’re the only courses with turf like this, with sand like this. There’s something different about the seaside wind in Scotland. …

You can fly to Shanghai or Abu Dhabi and work on what you need at home. But you can’t work on what you need at home until you get here.”

Tiger Woods, a three-time Open champion, arrived Sunday morning and has played nine holes a day. There was a time he would leave home a week early and head to Ireland with Mark O’Meara and David Duval, both former Open champions, and play the links courses there.

Woods loves to recall his first experience with links golf in 1995 as the U.S. Amateur champion. He played the Scottish Open at Carnoustie, and then drove down the

North Sea shoreline to St. Andrews for the British Open.

“I absolutely fell in love with it, to be able to dink a 5-iron from 150 yards and bump it on the ground, or vice versa — have 260 out and hit a 4-iron and it bounces over the green.

That, to me, is pretty neat.

Because we play everywhere around the world — an airborne game where you have to hit the ball straight up in the air and make it stop. Here it’s different. A draw will go one distance, a fade will go another, and they’re so dramatic.

And I just absolutely love it.”

True, adjusting to links golf can just as easily take place at Muirfield, where the British Open starts Thursday.

Defending champion Ernie Els came down from Castle Stuart and has stayed at Muirfield, wrapping up his final practice round Wednesday just after 6 p.m.

But there are no tricks at Muirfield. There are hardly any blind shots. Most of the bunkers are in plain view from the tee. That’s one of the reasons that Muirfield is a favorite of so many players, who

Loramie grad named to Honors Court FORT LORAMIE — Four members of the Capital University men’s basketball team were named to the 201213 National Association of Basketball Coaches Honors Court, and one of them was Fort Loramie High School graduate Mitch Westerheide.

To qualify for the Honors Court accolades, studentathletes must be of junior or senior academic standing, have a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher at the conclusion of the 2012Westerheide 13 academic year, and have been at their current institution for at least one year.

Westerheide is a recent graduate of Capital, with a degree in middle childhood education, and was AllOhio Athletic Conference last season in helping lead the Crusaders to the regular-season league championship.

He led the Crusaders with 98 assists and averaged 7.9 points and three rebounds per contest.

use words like “fair” and “honest test,” which aren’t always heard on other links courses.

“I think of all the Open venues, it’s probably one of the least quirky ones,” Donald said Wednesday. “It’s quite straightforward. Obviously with the weather conditions, it’s playing firm and fast. It’s going to be about controlling your golf ball this week. And the weather looks good. The course is set up just the way the R&A would like it. It’s bouncy. It’s a little bit of a breeze out there. Firm conditions are a good protector of the golf course, and we certainly have that this week.”

The forecast is dry for the week, with perhaps some mist on the weekend. Even though officials had the course just the way they wanted it early in the week, they have turned on a few sprinklers in the evening to keep it from getting overcooked.

“I think it’s no exaggeration to say that in my time at the R&A with direct involvement in The Open Championship, which goes back to 2000, factors have combined this year

to make this the best course set up we’ve ever had in that period,” R&A chief executive Peter Dawson said. “The course is just as we want it. It’s hard. It’s fast. It’s in wonderful condition. The rough is just right. I think the players are enjoying it.”

It all starts to unfold Thursday morning when Peter Senior of Australia hits the opening tee shot.

Among the early starters are Els, Rose and Brandt Snedeker in one group, with Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and Hideki Matsuyama a few groups behind. The afternoon groups include Woods, Graeme McDowell and Louis Oosthuizen, along with Masters champion Adam Scott, Donald and Matt Kuchar.

Tom Watson won at Muirfield in 1980 by four shots over Lee Trevino, which was a rarity in one respect. That was the only Open in the last six times at Muirfield that golf’s oldest championship was decided by more than one shot. Els won in a record four-man playoff the last time in 2002.

MLB draft spending up 6 percent this year

Jersey goes for $184,000 NEW YORK (AP) — A jersey worn by Ted Williams in 1946 sold for $184,000 and a Babe Ruth model bat from 1925-27 went for more than $166,000 in live bidding this week by Hunt Auctions.

Items from Warren Spahn’s personal memorabilia collection amassed over $900,000. Spahn’s 1957 Cy Young Award sold for $126,000, and his personal Hall of Fame ring went for $55,200.

The auctions were held Monday and Tuesday in Manhattan. Hunt Auctions, an Exton, Pa.-based company, released its sales figures Wednesday.

RORY MCELROY of Northern Ireland and Jim Furyk of the United States, left, talk on the 18th hole during a practice round ahead of the British Open Golf Championship at Muirfield, Scotland, Wednesday July 17, 2013.

NEW YORK (AP) — Teams spent $219.9 million on signing bonuses for selections in baseball’s amateur draft this year, up 6 percent from $207.8 million at a similar point last year.

The rise followed a 10 percent drop from a record $233.6 million in 2011, the last year before restrictions imposed by baseball’s collective bargaining agreement with players.

Eleven teams went over their signing bonus pools — one more than last year — and will pay a total of $1.8 million in tax, according to prelimi-

nary figures compiled by Major League Baseball. But no club went over by more than 5 percent and reached the second level of penalties, which would cause a club to forfeit its next first-round draft pick.

Baseball’s labor contract assigns a slot value to all picks in the first 10 rounds, with the amount starting at $7,790,400 this year for the first pick and decreasing to $135,300 for the final selections of the 10th round.

If a team fails to sign a player, the amount of that slot is deducted from its pool. Just eight players in the first 10

rounds didn’t sign, including one first-rounder: high school pitcher Phillip Bickford, selected by Toronto with the 10th overall selection.

For the 11th through 40th rounds, the amounts of bonuses exceeding $100,000 per pick are added to a team’s total for calculating the tax.

A club exceeding its pool total faces escalating penalties, starting with a 75 percent tax on the overage, graduating to a 100 percent tax and the loss of its next two first-round picks.

Exceeding their thresholds were Atlanta ($156,950 tax), the Chicago Cubs

($383,925), Kansas City ($59,025), the Los Angeles Dodgers ($190,050), the New York Yankees ($85,500), Philadelphia ($55,125), Pittsburgh ($73,350), St. Louis ($243,375), San Francisco ($169,950), Seattle ($220,500) and Texas ($170,775).

Last Friday was the deadline for draft picks to sign, except for players who have exhausted eligibility for college baseball — a group that may sign up until a week before next year’s draft. The players with the later deadline totaled $1.6 million in bonuses for the 2012 draft.

the matter of one lap in New Hampshire. After giving up the lead to Brian Vickers with 16 laps remaining, Stewart began conserving fuel and appeared to have a runner-up finish locked up. Until, that is, a green-whitechecker finish sent the race into overtime. Stewart’s fuel tank went dry with one lap remaining and he fell from second to 26th in the final running order.

OOPS, PART II For the second week in a row Danica Patrick’s run ended in a shower of sparks and a cloud of smoke.

Following a lap 235 restart, Patrick overshot Turn 1 and spun boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. as well as Travis Kvapil. All were doomed to sub-34thplace finishes because of the accident.

Patrick, to her credit, took responsibility, saying, “I’m really sorry. At the end of the day it was me that started it, so I’m really sorry.”

IS THAT A THREAT? Kyle Busch scored his seventh 2013 win in 14 Nationwide Series starts in Saturday’s CNBC Prime’s “The Profit” 200 in Loudon. However, the fireworks came off the track. After Regan Smith and Elliott Sadler made contact in the third green-white-checker restart — dropping Sadler from third to 18th in the final rundown, the latter confronted the points leader in the garage, saying, “You will not win this championship, mark my word.” Smith played it cool, later telling the media that, “I’d be mad, too. I’ve raced Elliott clean for years and never had issues with him. It wasn’t like it was intentional but it happened. I understand his anger.”

TRUCKIN’ Timothy Peters earned his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win of 2013 in Friday’s American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway. Peters, last season’s Truck Series championship runner-up, passed Ty Dillon with 27 laps remaining and held off rookie Erik Jones to score his sixth career victory in the series.

Brian Vickers scores first NASCAR victory since 2009, hopes to parlay win into full-time Cup ride

By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

To say Brian Vickers’ NASCAR career has been a roller coaster ride would be an understatement.

A return to Sprint Cup Victory Lane was the latest in a long line of events that has shaped his life and career.

The Thomasville, N.C.-native scored what was then the Busch Series championship in 2003 in his first full slate of events in NASCAR’s second series for a de facto Hendrick Motorsports team.

The future was bright for the then20-year-old, and a jump to the Cup Series followed.

However, a single win in Hendrick’s No. 25 Chevy over the following three seasons at the Cup level coincided with teammate Jimmie Johnson’s rise to power, and Vickers found himself out at HMS and with the upstart Red Bull Racing operation by 2007.

There, he struggled to lift an unconventional operation fresh to the NASCAR scene from upstart to contender. His team failed to qualify for 13 races that first season, yet he scored five top 10s in the 23 races where they made the show. Another season of futility followed — though he did manage to qualify for every event — and by 2009, when he finally took Red Bull to Victory Lane in Michigan and made the Chase for the Championship, the future again looked promising.

But 2010 dealt him a cruel blow.

Diagnosed in May with blood clots that would require heart surgery, he made it through only 11 races before stepping away from the ride. His career, and quite literally, his life, hung in the balance. That’s heady stuff for a 26-year-old.

But Vickers persevered, recovering from the condition and being cleared to race in 2011.

His reward? Another crushing blow: Red Bull was pulling up stakes in NASCAR at the conclusion of the season and heading back across the pond to Europe; the gap between Austria and Moorseville too great. Vickers was left without a ride and

his prospects weren’t good.

Until, that is, until Michael Waltrip Racing came calling.

Just coming into its own in the Cup Series at the time, MWR offered Vickers an eight-race deal in its No. 55 Toyota, sharing seat time with veteran Mark Martin and team co-owner Michael Waltrip. He would also hone his road racing skills — and whet his racing appetite — by participating in a number of European sports car events for AF Corse-Waltrip — a team that included MWR coowner Rob Kauffman.

Vickers’ results in the No. 55 were immediate and head-turning, as he notched five top 10s in a limited schedule and in the process, went from “damaged goods” to “full of potential.”

That brings us to 2013. Having scored a full-time Nationwide Series ride with Joe Gibbs Racing — where he currently ranks sixth in the point standings — the 29-year-old is again behind the wheel of the No. 55; this season, for nine races.

And on Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, his determination paid off. Leading the final 16 laps at the 1.058-mile oval, Vickers earned his first NASCAR triumph in nearly four years in the Camping World RV Sales 301.

Kyle Busch and Ryan Newman found themselves in a war of words following a physical day in Loudon, N.H.

“I really hate it that Kurt got tore up and I felt like he had the best car here today,” Kyle said. “He was definitely good. He could definitely roll the long runs for sure and I was proud of those guys, but man (that’s) just stupidity. I mean Ryan Newman is the biggest stupid idiot out here. And he’s a big ogre and he can do whatever he wants because he can probably kick anybody’s butt, so no sense in getting into a fight with him. But glad he is out of a job.”

Newman shot back on Monday in an interview with Sirius XM NASCAR Radio, saying of Kyle, “We know he’s not very bright.

I’m sure if I rearrange his face I might fix it.

“He’s frustrated finishing third or wherever he was (second) after hitting me first and then giving me a little rub down the straightaway. Just imagine how I feel. It is what it is. We know he’s not very bright. He’s a heck of a talent, but not very bright.”

On Monday, NASCAR announced a series of changes in how

It was a popular win in the eyes of his peers, and an emotional one that saw more than a few teary eyes within the organization that gave Vickers a third chance at Cup Series glory — and potentially a full-time opportunity in 2014.

“I don’t want to forget those memories and the things that I learned through those experiences, even though they were difficult and challenging,” Vickers said of the down times. “At a certain point it is good to shut the door and move on. I think to finally have — I don’t know if the ‘monkey on your back’ is really the right expression — but to finally get that victory ... it’s one thing to get back in a race car; it’s another thing to have a good day, but it’s a whole another thing to win a race.”

So with a long-awaited win at the highest level again a reality, where does the career of Brian Vickers go from here?

“Typically when you make a list of goals, there’s not just one,” Vickers explained. “One goal was to get out of the hospital. Goal two was to get back in a race car, and then three was to win a race.

“But ultimately, the goal, the decision to come back to racing, was to win a championship. So when that job’s done, then I think it will be more complete.”

the sanctioning body plans to officiate the sport in the future.

Newman and Kyle’s older brother, Kurt, were involved in a lap 226 incident that eliminated the latter’s chance at a victory.

Date: Sunday, July 28 TV: ESPN (1:00 p.m. EST) Specs: 2.5-mile oval Banking/Turns: 9 degrees 2012 Winner: Jimmie Johnson Crew Chief’s Take: “Indy is usually a good race for the drivers and teams, although sometimes it isn’t so much for the fans. The teams can work on their cars and make them better throughout the day.

The fan base is great in Indy and there is a lot of prestige with winning there. Thing is, it has the potential to be a really good race if the rules package were tweaked a little bit. There have been some decent finishes, but there have been some real snoozers, too. Honestly, if I had a choice I’d rather run at IRP (Lucas Oil Raceway, formerly Indianapolis Raceway Park) than the Motor Speedway.”

Four areas are being targeted: governance, rules, penalty/deterrence and officiating/inspection.

The goal of the initiative, as outlined by NASCAR Senior Vice President Steve O’Donnell at NASCAR’s Research and Development Center, is to bring clarity to rules, parts and penalties enforcement by utilizing technology.

“I think the vision for us is we want to position NASCAR ultimately for the future,” O’Donnell said. “The goal for us would be that as cars come off the manufacturing line in the near future, they certainly look like NASCAR from an esthetic standpoint when you look at those on track, but just as importantly the technology that’s in those cars mirrors what’s on track, as well, and we really become that proving ground from a technology standpoint.”

O’Donnell pinpointed 11 specific initiatives that range from an enhanced appeals process to a simplified rulebook that would be available online to specific penalties that are applied to violations.

NASCAR’s timeline calls for these changes to be implemented in full by the beginning of the 2015 season.

Classic Moments Indianapolis Motor Speedway Dale Jarrett was already enjoying an impressive season with Robert Yates Racing when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series arrived at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in August 1999 for the sixth running of the Brickyard 400.

What happened at the famed 2.5mile Indy layout took “impressive” to a whole new level, however. Jarrett started fourth but swiftly assumed control in his blue and white No. 88 Ford, leading a whopping 117 of 160 laps on the way to his fourth victory of the season and second triumph in the sport’s second-biggest race (Jarrett also won the Brickyard in 1996).

The victory also provided a little redemption for Jarrett, who had the car to beat at Indy in 1998 but finished 16th after losing four laps on a midrace fuel gaffe.

Jarrett went on to win the championship in ’99, which was the first for veteran team owner Robert Yates, who entered the sport in 1988 with driver Davey Allison.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Jimmie Johnson’s Indianapolis reign is close to impenetrable. He scored three wins in the CoT era, including the 99-laps-led performance last year.

Pretty Solid Pick: Greg Biffle has been like clockwork at the Brickyard, amassing finishes of eighth, fourth, third, seventh and third, respectively, in the last five races.

Good Sleeper Pick: With a good car — and keep in mind, he has Hendrick horsepower in his Earnhardt Ganassi entry this year — Jamie McMurray has been able to work wonders at Indianapolis. He has three finishes of sixth or better in the last five races, including a win in 2010.

Runs on Seven Cylinders: In six races driving for Indy-obsessed Penske Racing, Kurt Busch could only muster a best finish of 10th in 2010. He has finished 21st or lower in four of the last five Brickyard races.

Insider Tip: The teams roll out their best stuff for the annual trip to historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. No one wants it more than Tony Stewart, who has two victories and a series-best 8.2-place average finish at the Brickyard. But no one is better than Johnson, who’s four Indy wins are by far a series-best.

Big Ten, Lions team up for new bowl game Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Writer

The Big Ten and the Detroit Lions have announced a six-year agreement to play a bowl game at Ford Field, and a person familiar with the situation says the Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opponent.

The new bowl will start in the 2014 season and it has not been named or sponsored.

The person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press the game will be a matchup of Big Ten and ACC teams. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement was to come later. ESPN.com first reported the ACC would be part of the new Detroit Bowl.

The conferences will select the teams to play in the new game.

“We are thrilled to be hosting a new bowl game in Detroit that will be anchored by an annual commitment from the Big Ten,” Lions president Tom Lewand said.

“In addition to showcasing our city and its rich football tradition, this game will be an opportunity for fans to enjoy a postseason matchup featuring one of college football’s best conferences.”

THE EXTERIOR of Ford Field is shown prior to the Detroit LionsBuffalo Bills NFL preseason football game in Detroit. The Big Ten and the Detroit Lions have announced a six-year agreement to play a bowl game at Ford Field, and a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The new bowl game will start in 2014 and it has not been named or sponsored.

The new game could spell the end for the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, which has been played in Detroit and tried to match the Big Ten and Mid-American Conference.

The Big Ten often would not have enough bowl eligible teams to send one to the Little Caesars Bowl.

Ken Hoffman, the executive director of the Little Caesars Bowl, did not return a message seeking comment.

The Little Caesars Bowl has been held at Ford Field since 2002. The game was originally called the Motor City Bowl and held at the Silverdome.

MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said the announcement of the new Detroit bowl was not a sur-

prise, and his league still looks forward to holding its championship game in Detroit. The 2014 season marks the beginning of the new college football playoff, leaving the rest of the bowl scene uncertain as far as which conferences will play where.

“We’re all kind of in the process of re-jiggering,” Steinbrecher said.

Last season, Northern Illinois became the first MAC team to reach the Bowl Championship Series, playing in the Orange Bowl.

That’s an honor the league can try to build on.

“Every year is a new year,” Steinbrecher said.

“You’ve got to go out and do it again.”

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be able to visualize a better way to do your job. You want to accomplish something today, and you want to do it fairly and right.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions about the care and education of children might come up today.

Discussion with a romantic partner also will focus on future possibilities.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You want what's best for your family today, especially in a practical way.

You're looking for ways to solidify your home base.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Discussions with others will be serious but reasonable today. Both parties will be inclined to see each other's point of view, which is a good head start.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might want to spend money on something luxurious today, but you won't. Part of you does not want to be frivolous. This sensible part wants you to spend money on practical expenditures.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel a need to have a deeper understanding of who you are today. This is why you might be attracted to studies that promote this -- meditation, metaphysics, yoga or spiritualism.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Feelings of selfless generosity will make you put the needs of others before your own today. You won't be denying yourself; it's what you want to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone older, or perhaps a teacher figure, will inspire you to be the best you can be today. This person might suggest that you lend your efforts to a charitable group or a cause that works for the benefit of others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Someone in a position of authority might inspire you today. You might see that power and authority are useful if they are used in the right way.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Any kind of teaching, religious meeting or philosophical gathering will appeal to you today, because you want to understand more about what makes you tick. You also want to learn more.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a natural grace and style, which can be elegant. This can be evident both verbally and physically. You have high standards for yourself, which is why you are sometimes self-critical (and also sometimes critical of others). Personally, you have heroes that you admire.

This year a major change could take place, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2004-05.

Birthdate of: Benedict Cumberbatch, actor; Edgar Degas, artist; Vikki Carr, singer/humanitarian. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

A year after theater attack, gun debate rages Nicholas Riccardi The Associated Press

DENVER (AP) The last time Colorado enacted gun control measures was in the wake of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, and once the laws were on the books there was little acrimony.

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest batch of gun control laws coming after a gunmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadly rampage at a suburban Denver movie theater a year ago has sparked a struggle over guns that shows little signs of fading. Gun rights advocates are trying to recall two state senators who backed the package, and dozens of GOP county sheriffs are suing to overturn it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to remain a political hot potato for Democrats for many, many months,â&#x20AC;? said gun-rights activist Ari Armstrong.

Ironically, in the months after the gunmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting spree left 12 people dead and injured 70 others, there was little public discussion of gun control here. The shooting at a midnight showing of the Batman film â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dark Knight Risesâ&#x20AC;? occurred in a key swing county in one of the most hotlycontested battleground states in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presi-

dential election.

But President Barack Obama, seeking re-election, did not bring up gun control in a state that cherishes its western frontier image. Neither did most Colorado Democrats.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until Decemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting at a Connecticut elementary school left 20 firstgraders and six adults dead that gun control rose in prominence. By March, Colorado became the only state outside the Democratic Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coastal bases to pass sweeping gun control measures, including universal background checks and a ban on high-capacity magazines.

After the Columbine attack, voters closed a loophole that allowed buyers of firearms at gun shows to evade background checks. In the wake of the Aurora massacre, the prospects for more gun control in this libertarian-minded state seemed shaky at best.

Soon after police say a former neuroscience graduate student named James Holmes, armed with a rifle and a high-capacity magazine able to fire 100 bullets, wreaked his carnage, the Democratic lawmaker whose district is home to the Century 16 movie the-

ater where the shooting took place began drafting gun control bills, hoping Coloradans would be more receptive to them.

They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a sense of political fear,â&#x20AC;? recalled state Rep. Rhonda Fields, who became a legislator after her son and his girlfriend were shot to death in

2005 to stop him from testifying at a murder trial.

In a television interview days after the shooting, Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper appeared to cast doubt on the effectiveness of new gun control laws.

Despite a push by gun control groups and some relatives of those slain in Aurora, moderators at the presidential debates didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring up the topic. Craig Hughes, a top adviser to Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colorado campaign, said it felt inappropriate to raise the issue while emotions were so raw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The right course here was to not politicize it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

had quiet conversations around the state after that and was struck by wide support for universal background checks.

In N o v e m b e r, Democrats won both the state House and Senate as Colorado helped reelect Obama. And on Dec. 12, Hickenlooper declared that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the time is rightâ&#x20AC;? to talk about gun control.

Two days later in Connecticut, Adam Lanza, 20, shot and killed his mother, then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School and opened fire before killing himself.

The attack shocked a country that had grown hardened to mass shootings. Obama vowed an all-out push for gun control.

In Colorado, a similar push was already queued up.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gun control organization, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, hired four lobbyists to help push gun bills in Colorado. Vice President Joe Biden called state legislators to urge them to vote for the package.

Biden told them that Colorado, with its western traditions, could help set the tone for national gun policy.

To Republicans and gun rights groups, the message was clear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Obama administration and these East Coast politicians decided that, as Colorado goes, so goes the rest of the nation,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said GOP state Rep. Mark Waller.

GOP legislators fought furiously to delay the billsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passage. Hundreds of demonstrators circled the state capitol and packed the legislative chambers.

Democrats were confident voters were on their side. They have not lost a presidential, gubernatorial or U.S. Senate race for more than a decade, powered by a combination of a growing Hispanic voting population and an influx of coastal moderates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The voices that are the loudest (in protest) are not the ones that determine elections here,â&#x20AC;? Laura Chapin, a Democratic strategist who worked for local gun control groups, said after the bills passed.

For gun rights advocates, the movie theater attack exposed serious problems that Democrats were ignoring: Bans on

guns in public areas, and the issue of mental health.

Holmes purchased his guns legally but also had seen a psychiatrist who feared he was dangerous.

The Century 16 complex forbade guns. If viewers were armed, gun-rights groups argued, they could have stopped the attack.

Advocates also noted that, from the limited information that has become public, some officials at the University of Colorado, Denver, where Holmes studied, may have been warned that he could turn violent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not pretend our options are binary do nothing or pass more restrictive gun laws,â&#x20AC;? said Armstrong, the gun-rights activist.

The legislature agreed to a $20 million Hickenlooper plan to expand mental health services. But the gun control package got the most attention. The bill banning larger-capacity magazines squeaked through by a single vote in the state Senate.

Meanwhile, Democratic strongholds like New York, Connecticut and California passed some measures, but gun control packages died in Congress and in liberal-leaning states like Minnesota, Oregon, Washington and even Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home state, Delaware.

In June, Colorado gun activists collected enough signatures to trigger recall elections for two state senators, including that chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president.

If Democratic efforts to block them fail, the recall votes could be the first electoral test of postSandy Hook gun control.

Fifty-four county sheriffs filed a federal lawsuit to strike down the laws as violations of the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was celebrating his 27th birthday at the theater when he was killed, said he shied away from the gun debate at first. But he went to the state legislature to watch the debate and was at the arguments against action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to shrug my shoulders,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and say this is the cost of living in a free society: my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be murdered by a guy with a 100-round magazine walking into a theater on his birthday.â&#x20AC;? ___ Follow Nicholas Riccardi on Twitter at https://twitter.com/NickRiccardi .
